=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
use I18N::Collate;
|
|
setlocale(LC_COLLATE, 'locale-of-your-choice');
|
|
$s1 = new I18N::Collate "scalar_data_1";
|
|
$s2 = new I18N::Collate "scalar_data_2";
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
This module provides you with objects that will collate
|
|
according to your national character set, provided that the
|
|
POSIX setlocale() function is supported on your system.
|
|
|
|
You can compare $s1 and $s2 above with
|
|
|
|
$s1 le $s2
|
|
|
|
to extract the data itself, you'll need a dereference: $$s1
|
|
|
|
This module uses POSIX::setlocale(). The basic collation conversion is
|
|
done by strxfrm() which terminates at NUL characters being a decent C
|
|
routine. collate_xfrm() handles embedded NUL characters gracefully.
|
|
|
|
The available locales depend on your operating system; try whether
|
|
C<locale -a> shows them or man pages for "locale" or "nlsinfo" or the
|
|
direct approach C<ls /usr/lib/nls/loc> or C<ls /usr/lib/nls> or
|
|
C<ls /usr/lib/locale>. Not all the locales that your vendor supports
|
|
are necessarily installed: please consult your operating system's
|
|
documentation and possibly your local system administration. The
|
|
locale names are probably something like C<xx_XX.(ISO)?8859-N> or
|
|
C<xx_XX.(ISO)?8859N>, for example C<fr_CH.ISO8859-1> is the Swiss (CH)
|
|
variant of French (fr), ISO Latin (8859) 1 (-1) which is the Western
|
|
European character set.

|
|
# Acks: Guy Decoux <F<[email protected]>> understood
|
|
# overloading magic much deeper than I and told
|
|
# how to cut the size of this code by more than half.
|
|
# (my first version did overload all of lt gt eq le ge cmp)
|
|
#
|
|
# Purpose: compare 8-bit scalar data according to the current locale
|
|
#
|
|
# Requirements: Perl5 POSIX::setlocale() and POSIX::strxfrm()
|
|
#
|
|
# Exports: setlocale 1)
|
|
# collate_xfrm 2)
|
|
#
|
|
# Overloads: cmp # 3)
|
|
#
|
|
# Usage: use I18N::Collate;
|
|
# setlocale(LC_COLLATE, 'locale-of-your-choice'); # 4)
|
|
# $s1 = new I18N::Collate "scalar_data_1";
|
|
# $s2 = new I18N::Collate "scalar_data_2";
|
|
#
|
|
# now you can compare $s1 and $s2: $s1 le $s2
|
|
# to extract the data itself, you need to deref: $$s1
|
|
#
|
|
# Notes:
|
|
# 1) this uses POSIX::setlocale
|
|
# 2) the basic collation conversion is done by strxfrm() which
|
|
# terminates at NUL characters being a decent C routine.
|
|
# collate_xfrm handles embedded NUL characters gracefully.
|
|
# 3) due to cmp and overload magic, lt le eq ge gt work also
|
|
# 4) the available locales depend on your operating system;
|
|
# try whether "locale -a" shows them or man pages for
|
|
# "locale" or "nlsinfo" work or the more direct
|
|
# approach "ls /usr/lib/nls/loc" or "ls /usr/lib/nls".
|
|
# Not all the locales that your vendor supports
|
|
# are necessarily installed: please consult your
|
|
# operating system's documentation.
|
|
# The locale names are probably something like
|
|
# 'xx_XX.(ISO)?8859-N' or 'xx_XX.(ISO)?8859N',
|
|
# for example 'fr_CH.ISO8859-1' is the Swiss (CH)
|
|
# variant of French (fr), ISO Latin (8859) 1 (-1)
|
|
# which is the Western European character set.
